The World’s Fastest bottom brackets?

[F111]

 

In this video, They install a BBInfinite Press Fit, Direct Fit Shimano bottom bracket in a Cannondale, and a Dura Ace BSA, thread in cup style bottom bracket in a Cervelo for a show down. Who has the best spin: Shimano or BBInfinite?

What do you think of this test?

I like the test, Just a question because I installed a new Shimano BB last week, and it felt a bit tight, Does it require some time to wear? Could that be the case with the Dura Ace here?

[Eldron]

Dumb ass test. Spinning any new BB is stupid - they all come lubed up with too much grease and need time to clear some grease. If you cleaned both BBs and added some light oil they'd spin the same I reckon.

 

Also - without load the test is meaningless anyway.

 

That said - I really like the PF to BSA BBInfinite "converter" - I need a new one for my Niner! Google time :-)

 

If anyone knows if a local LBS stocks them please let me know.

It to good to be true

he greased the durace and not the BBInfinite, the grease is bound to cause some friction?

[David Marshall]

It looks impressive but I don't know what it really means. Take a reasonably worn Dura Ace bb, wash the remaining grease out of the bearing and it will spin like crazy! In reality you would need to compare in a long term road test.

The grease he put on the Dura Ace is between dust cover and crank - they move together. No added friction. Theoretically the dust cover, crank and inner race move together. Friction is between inner race, bearing and outer race.

I can get my Deore External Threaded BB to spin like his BBinfinite.

Why does he spin it from a position lower down on the crank on the BB infinite? watch the hand position.

Where can I get one? Price?

When you pack a bearing with grease should you really fill it up?

I've noticed even though some eventually squeezes out after going for a ride the extra amount of grease adds friction, that compared to just putting in a limited but sufficient amount. Packing the bearing chockablock with grease I'm sure helps prevent washout to a degree but I think I'd prefer less friction if less grease will make a real difference when riding?

It's a clearly noticeable difference when you try rotate a wheel or crank with overly greased bearings by hand, even after months of riding.

I see they have for GXP (SRAM) but not Shimano in 41 pressfit

Yup, quickrock with ceramic bearings........ultra smooth and fast. Works for me :-)
